beeing a new car owner there is all ways some one to help. thanks for the info.

Hey just reading though this, looks to me that fitting an after market plenum would be a defect according to this statment from the doc Vehicles manufactured on or after the 1 January 1986 (ADR 37). This category of vehicle may only be fitted with an ADR 37 complying engine (i.e. an engine designed to only operate on unleaded fuel), which incorporates all associated components. The fitting of an engine other than an original or optional engine would require approval from Transport SA. No alterations to the engine�s camshaft, inlet manifold, carburettor/fuel injectors, air cleaner or catalytic converter are permitted.

Actually thats rather interesting about the cat, 20 years old most of the honeycomb rattle these days and if you replace it with a hiflow cat and they look under your car are they gunna defect it even if it probably produces less toxic gases?

Urgh, i've had a read through the Bulletin 3, and sounds annoying to bring a vehicle from interstate and register it here. Reading the transport SA website, quote - "Unless you hold a current interstate registration certificate in exactly the same name as the intended South Australian registration, the vehicle must undergo an identity inspection to confirm the correct identity of the vehicle" source - http://http://www.transport.sa.gov.a...gistration.asp (http://http://www.transport.sa.gov.au/registrations/motor_vehicles/interstate_vehicle_registration.asp) Now, im assuming these vehicles will be checked not only for identity, but if they look modified, they will also be checked that they comply with SA's ADR's as well. Which pretty much rules out, bringing any modded VL to SA. "No alterations to the engine�s camshaft, inlet manifold, carburettor/fuel injectors, air cleaner or catalytic converter are permitted" Has anyone tried to register a modded VL they have bought in from another state? and if so, did you have to go through a full inspection?

I registered mine, but it was registered in exactly the same name as the intended SA rego, hence all I did was fill out a piece of paper and it was

Thats the trick interstate also. Have a family member/friend state your living with them; register the car over there at the family/friends address for a few months and then transfer it back to here with no VIS and regency inspection. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hmm i will remember that next time! Too ****in late now!!

Found these links on SAU that are handy for defects, fines, demerit points etc http://www.legislation.sa.gov.au/lz/...996.126.un.pdf (http://www.legislation.sa.gov.au/lz/c/r/motor%20vehicles%20regulations%201996/current/1996.126.un.pdf) The ADRs, not sure how it applies to South Oz tho http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roa...dr_online.aspx (http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/motor/design/adr_online.aspx)

Guys I've just been reading the VIC section and it has been confirmed whitewalls redwalls whatever, have been made an illegal modification due to weakening the tyre wall. Would this be the same for SA you think?
